Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the classic album Synchronicity by The Police, the Hazelrigg Brothers have brought an inspired arrangement of a classic work to NativeDSD.
This recording is an audiophile experience full of the fire, power and dynamics that have become the Hazelrigg Brothers trademark. Perfectly expressing the political and social temper of the early 1980s, the original landmark album was the near-constant soundtrack to George and Geoff’s upbringing and a huge influence on their artistic future.
The Hazelrigg Brothers Band consists of George Hazelrigg on piano, Geoff Hazelrigg on bass and John O’Reilly Jr. on drums. They are an instrumental trio that melds elements of Jazz, Rock and Classical to create an audiophile experience that is engaging, entertaining and eminently listenable. Critically acclaimed for both their performance and their unique recording techniques, Hazelrigg Brothers is a genre defying group that is not to be underestimated.
The album was recorded in one room using two Stereo microphones, captured in Stereo DSD 128. It is available at NativeDSD in both the recorded format and bit rate of Stereo DSD 128 and in Stereo WAV 96k for your convenience.
As a bonus, the track “Murder By Numbers” will be available only as Stereo DSD and Stereo WAV downloads and on Stereo CD. This track will not be available on the Vinyl LP edition of the album.
This is our first release from Outer Marker Records and we are very excited to be working with this exciting label! View the Outer Marker Records label page to find out more about them.

Press reviews
Modern Drummer
What took so long? Musicians have consistently named The Police’s Synchronicity as a very influential recording, and musicians have been covering pop songs creatively since the beginning of music. So why has it taken so long for a trio to take the challenge?
The Hazelrigg Brothers have answered the questions and were up to the challenge. This is no lounge trio covering popular songs. The Hazelrigg Brothers are creating interesting arrangements and “derangements” of these tunes and really making them their own.
So how does a drummer interpret the manic and influential drumming of Stewart Copeland into Jazz versions of Synchronicity? Ask John O’ Reilly Jr. Or better yet, just listen to this album. It’s really good.
